Hello,

Trying to ID the below, seems like an anenome type...they are spread throughout the tank. Seems they are bothering the corals.

Anyone know what they are and how to get rid of them? Thanks!Image

Looks like it might be ball anemones. Generally, not an issue.
Will they bother corals? It seems those close to corals are not opening as much
 
If they are touching they could be irritating the corals.
 
Pseudocorynactis or ‘ball anemone’. They aren’t actually anemones, they are corallimorphs, more closely related to mushrooms. They can sting other corals (like all mushrooms), but IME they don’t spread like aiptasia or majano anemones, I usually just leave them be unless they’re bothering something.
